How can php put it's query string int a variable?

for example I am calling this script with

whatever.php?main

how do i put "main" into some variable?

--will

[Mithras]

whatever.php?variable=value

which you access in the script with
$_REQUEST["variable"]

or
$_GET["variable"] for only those passed in the URL (rather than submitted via a form POST)

yes, but is there a way to do it without the

variable= part

just

whatever.php?value

Someone check me on this...

I think depending on your server's configuration, PHP will automatically generate variables to hold the values passed through the URL. In the configuration file, a value called register globals can be set to on or off to determine how PHP handles passed variables. For instance, if you had your whatever.php?main=index.html, PHP could generate a variable $main that has been set to 'index.html' (assuming 'register globals' is set to 'on').

I find it better to follow Mithras' example though, since you never know how a server is going to be configured. As far as I know, PHP's Superglobal variables can always be accessed. "It's better to assume that only the superglobal variables will be available and code accordingly."

i think i figured out what i was trying to do:

foreach($HTTP_GET_VARS as $key=>$value){
$query .=$key;
}

which will cause query to equal main when you call whatever.php?main

and query will equal mainothermain when you call whatever.php?main&othermain

--will
